From the annual report of Gen. w.
B. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer, we learn
that the cold.wave signal is now dis.
played by orders from the central Office
at 29O cities and towns in the United
States; from these points it is distribute
ed by telegraph and railways to about
10000 stations. OF the LOGS cold-wave
signals displayed in 1886, gil, or s53
per cent, were justified. Gen. Hazen
expresses regret at the action of Con-
gress in failing to provide fora contin'
uance of Fort Myer as post of instruc
ton. On this point General Hazer
says: 1.-THE present plan must newt
ably bring into the service many mer
not fit for it. and this fact cannot b.
learned until much time and money ar
lost and the service impaired Gu
national Solons ought to rememb Der tina
the signal service requires men who ar
thoroughly qualified for its work
wherein it differs from congressiona
service.

missioner by Gov. Nc Gill.

Minnesota is already blessed with =
goodly number of laws that nobody
cares for and nobody observes. 1t is to
be hoped that the legislature will not
increase the number of laws of this
class, and that it will waste no time in
patching where an entirely new article
would be more acceptable.

The candidacy and election of Mr..

The candidacy and election of Mr..
w. r. Merriam as speaker of the house
were opposed by a number of our ex-
changes because Mr.. Merriam is ban
ker and a St. Paul man. While we
should have preferred the selection of a
speaker from outside of the twin-cities,
the REVIEW is satisfied with the cleo
ton of MIR. Merriam. We cannot see
why the fact of his being a banker
should be used as an argument against
his being speaker. We may not grasp
the subject fully, but we have always
thought that the interest of bankers and
those of the community at large were
identical; e. thatif the community is in a
prosperous condition, the banks will do
safe and paying business. The power
Of the speaker is in the appointment OF

In our State senate, which is suppos-
ed to be made up of public servants,
w. g. Ward the other day offered a res
olution that the rules requiring the
doors to be closed during executive ses-
sions be suspended. Mr.. Ward is a
republican, and there were six other re-
publicans who understood the duties
imposed upon them clearly enough to
support his motion. It was quite nat.
ural to suppose that the democratic
members should vote in a body in favor
Of open executive sessions. Had this
been done, the motion would have been
carried; but for some reason or other
five or six democrats saw fit to vote in
favor of barred doors, and the motion
was lost (18 yeas, % nays). The fol-
lowing % senators do not seem to have
the courage to let their constituents
know what they say and do whene GER
tain appointments are considered: Al

bar, Pope, Albert Scheffer. Smith,
|Swenson, Thacker, Wallmark, Wood.
Our opinion on this point may be alto
gether wrong; but we cannot help be-
llieying that men alleging to represent
the people are in honor bound to con
slider IN open session all appointments
they may be called upon to make. It
would require 4 strong predisposition
to idiocy to claim that the public vel
fare demands secrecy when the distri-

Nina Van Zandt, the Chicago girl who
married anarchist Spies by proxy, is said
to be insane She isolated herself from
the world when Spies was hung, and re-
fused to eat, declaring it was her wish
and determination to join her husband
where bombs are not thrown. Last Sun
day morning she arose from bed and in
sisted upon going at once to the cemetery
where her husband lay in vault. She
was under the hallucination that he was
not dead. but alive and unable to extricate
himself from his cold and uncanny lodg-
ings. She was humored in the within,
and accompanied by her mother drove
fourteen miles out to the cemetery and
gained access to the vault, where she found
Spies really very dead, and not manifesting
any well defined disposition to vacate his
quarters.

Drowned at Sea .

100 SOULS ENGULFED IN TWENTY MINUTES.
The German steamship Scholten, bound
from Rotterdam to New York, was run into
and sunk ten miles off Dover, England, on
Saturday night last. The Scholten carried
a compliment of 210 passengers and crew
one hundred and thirty of whom went
down with the Inflated steamer, while the
remainder escaped in two life boats or
were picked up by the steamer Elbro
which hove in sight in time 10 save them,
The Seholten collided with the vessel Rosa
Mary in the dense fog then prevailing, and
stove hole in her port side letting the
water in at rate precluding the possibility
of even Bleaching her, although she was
only few miles from land and could
have been run ashore and beached had it
not been for the serious opening in her
side and the rapidity with which she filled
and went down. The scene attending the
tragic event was beyond description. The
collision occurred just after the passengers
had retired for the night after spending an
unusually enjoyable evening, and cabin
and steerage passengers were rudely
awakened to confront death with but little
chance of escape. Capt Taat and officers
were cool and brave and directed the eff
forts TO save as best they could. but only
two life boats were available and into these
women and children were hurried as fast
as possible. Many jumped overheard
into the sea. some with life,preservers on
and more without them. The most OF
those provided with life preserves were
picked up by boats from the Elbro, but
those thus unprovided for, as well as many
remaining on the sinking steamer, were
lost in the darkness or went to the bottom
with the doomed craft Captain Taat was
among those who went down with the
vessel, and his GOODNESS, bravery and fl
deity throughout the trying ordeal mark
ed him a true and noble hero. The Ross
Mary is said to have been at anchor on &C
count of the dense fog, but other reports
show that she was running at the time Of
the collision. She made port the mex
morning with her bow badly damaged nd
the stories as to just how and why the col
lision came about are conflicting, The
heart-rending scenes throughout that thrill
ling twenty minutes can better be imagin
ed than described. A panic seized the
passengers, and SO rapidly did the vesse
sink that the noble and self sacrificing eff
forts of the Captain and his officers wert
unavailing, and the sad event only marked
another of those accidents which it would
seem that skill and care cannot always
prevent. Among the bodies washed ashore
the following day was that of brave Cap
tain Taat.

Rev. DR.. S. F. Upham. a Professor at
Drew Theological Seminary, Madison,
lectured in that village on Monday evening
on the subject of temperance, but
whether or not he helped the cause is
quite another question. His audience was
somewhat meagre and his temper cores
pondingly unserene. He pitched into his
subject by saying, II have in mind that
this is Madison and that this is a temper

broadly upon the Court for granting Ii

village needing two hotels - said he.

The judge simply executes the law as he
finds it; it is his plain and simple duty to
do So The law grants the license-not
the man who sits on the bench. Then the

not infrequently thereby retard instead OF

the universal tactics of the Prohibitionists
many of whom are honest and really want
to foster temperance. But men like Prof.
Upham should "sit up nights" and try &c
study common horse sense. Such course
would be far more advantageous to the
temperance cause-a cause too good to be
so sadly handicapped and hindered by in
iudicious and harmful handling.

The poor Mugwump is just now in a
pitiable plight Like the Israelite without
country, he has no party to turn to

left the Republican ranks because he was
too pure and good to vote for Blaine, and
now finds that Cleveland is not the inn
pervious Moses he was searching for.
Sad plight Why cannot the Government
furnish him a nice secluded little reserva-
ton somewhere towards the setting sum-
sort of lodge in some vast wild erness,
where he can fence himself in aud start a
nice little ideal party of his own, with
pictures on the walls and a coat of arms
over the threshold. all undefiled and un-
contaminated by anything less lovely and
aesthetic than his own sweet self A gen

has supplied exclusive reservations for the
Indian, another character who somehow
cannot just reconcile himself to the ways of
society at large; then why not for the Mug
wump? He is as good as an Indian any
day-and just as deserving of sympathetic
consideration.

have disturbed the slumbers of the late
Thomas Jefferson in order to ascertain
the views of that eminent spirit on the
Henry George land theory. This would
seem like carrying the war rather farther
than into Africa, and might be regarded
by some as an unwarrantably aggressive
political measure. yet it is pleasant to
learn that Mr.. jefferson remains true to his
old-time political perspicuity, and sets his
spirit foot down heavily on George and
his new but already exploded ism.

Rev. DIR. Parker, the English divine
who came over here few months since to
pose for 3eechers Plymouth mantle, was
not called to any great extent by that
congregation, and therefore started off on
a lecturing tour through the West, hoping
perchance to turn an honest American
penny before going back home. He has
already abandoned the trip, however, de-
claring that he could not stand the hurry
and furry of railroad travel Oh schedule
arranged by an American lecture man
ager. He thinks this country too CHARS
ted" fast, don't you know; too outrageous
ly previous in everything. 1t makes him
tired and dizzy to keep up with the pro-
cession, so he decides to return to old
England, where he can resume his wonted
pace-and rest He even thinks our rate
of progress is $50 rapid that it cannot be
otherwise than abnormal, and that there
will either come great collapse or great
discipline" He confesses that he is zap
palled at the vastness and growth of the
country" He sees a "recklessness in
money matters which contrasts strongly
with English carefulness, and an apparent
prevailing prodigality that in England
would soon bring on its penalty
Poor mani What shock to his nervous
systeml How his liver must have been
jolted and jostled in keeping pace with
that busting American manager But,
upon reflection, there is some change in
this country since it broke away from
English domination. 1t has become a
trifle fast, when compared with English
enterprise and progress, and that is what
surprises, nay astounds, the average Brit
ain, don't you know-but the gait is prob
ably ''safe, notwithstanding DR.. Parker's
gloomy misgivings.
